5. B.S. in Computer Science
Computer Science program focuses on developing flexible professionals who are equipped to learn new technologies and principles that are essential for success in such a rapidly evolving field.
Students learn how to apply advanced scientific and industrial methodologies to develop computing solutions.
Computer scientists are employed as software engineers, system and application programmers, systems analysts, programmer analysts, researchers, network specialists, computer system designers, system administrators, etc.
Job opportunities exist in business, industry, government, education and the military.

6. B.S. in Computer Science
The curriculum for the major consists of a set of core courses covering such areas as:
discrete mathematics
circuitry and hardware fundamentals
calculus and linear algebra
probability and statistics
computer science theory
object-oriented programming
software engineering
data structures and algorithms
programming languages
computer architecture
operating systems
Students also choose from over 30 electives on a wide variety of topics including computer game development, robotics, computer animation, network security, mobile and web development, distributed systems, human-computer interaction and more.

7. B.A. in Computing and Informatics
The Bachelor of Arts in Computing and Informatics is a new degree designed for students who are interested in pursuing careers in information technology which requires a solid understanding of the principles of computing – but not the underpinnings of computer science theory and mathematics.
Such careers include, but are not limited to:
Programmers
Computer Service Coordinators
Infrastructure Administrators
Deployment Technicians (e.g., end-user support for system releases)
Support Technicians (e.g., Help Desk support)
Technical Documentation Specialists
Technical Application Trainers
Software QA / Testing Engineers

8. MS/BS Dual Degree in Computer Science
BS/MS/CS program: The complete accelerated Bachelor of Science/Master of Science in Computer Science Dual Degree Program
At the completion of the program the student receives both a BS in Computer Science and an MS in Computer Science.
The student takes 12 credits fewer than if he/she would have obtained the degrees separately
BS/MS students take 12 credits of graduate courses during their senior year
